Almost halfway to the goal!! Can y'all help me reach $100?

Through November, every sale of CHAMELEON MOON's audiobook + ebook bundle on Itch.io will benefit Doctors Without Borders' efforts in Palestine.

We're all angry and helpless feeling right now, I definitely am, but this is one thing I CAN do, so. Please do it with me. (also the audiobook is good, OK. Not the most important thing, but it is!)

This morning I was surprised to see that 12 credits were added to my Audible account with no explanation. I contacted support and was told it was for being a loyal customer, weird but true.

Now I got an E-Mail with the real reason:

“Our hearts go out to all impacted by the tragic events in the Middle East. While only a small gesture, we want to do what we can to make things a bit easier for members impacted at this time and have paused your billing for the next six months”.

Cool, thanks Audible, the books are indeed helping me cope.

Do you ever try an of something and it just. doesn't. work? You brain just goes "nope!" and that's it? But then you try reading the and suddenly it's the best thing ever?

I never realized how many factors there are in a book experience, beyond just the author's writing. In an audiobook, it can be something as simple as the narrator's intonation, or the accent they give a character, or the pronunciation of a word... Any of these can become insurmountable.

Helloo! Calling all lovely people who like with lashings of mystery and detection. We've just been given some reviewer codes for our novel, OverLondon and would love to share them with anyone with a hankering to listen, (hopefully) snort-laugh and leave a review.

OverLondon has pirate detectives. It's got rogue artificers! It's got a big explosive crime. It's got an angry badger! It's got an alternate version of London formed by the Vengeful Queen Anne Boleyn! It's got a world so vivid we regularly run and pathfinder campaigns based on it. It radiates awesomeness like the power of a supernova that's showing off for its grandparents!

It's narrated by Brendan McDonald who did C.K. McDonnell's amazing Stranger Times audiobooks, which …

My mom tried, unsuccessfully, to get me to read W Somerset Maugham in all the years that I was a teenager living under her roof. Teenagers are stubborn dears. That being said, I don't think teenaged Nerine would have gotten half as much out of reading Of Human Bondage as middle-aged Nerine has. The audiobook was part of my Audible subscription, but when it timed out, I absolutely had to know how the story panned out, and I have zero regrets purchasing it with one of my credits.

While the novel kicks off with the very young Philip Carey, newly orphaned, who goes to live with his uncle and aunt, who don't have children themselves. It's pretty clear from the get go that they have zero idea how to handle a little one in the house. But if we consider that the novel (by my estimation) takes place before World …

May's My book is set in Poland & based on real events, written by Spanish author Mario Escobar. I think this is going to be a pretty dark story.

The Teacher Of Warsaw has 45 chapters so that's roughly 11 chapters per week. I'm going to listen to the narrated by Zach Hoffman, which I bought @ Libro.fm https://tidd.ly/3LEyqGF (aff link)
